What about image?
A common misconception about washroom advertising is that it impacts a business’
image in a negative way. This is simply not the case. Extensive research in the
US and Canada has shown that audiences typically enjoy the advertisements.
Research revealed that 98% of those surveyed had a positive or neutral reaction
to the advertisements.
Who else advertises?
Many national and local companies take advantage of washroom advertising.
Companies such as Yoplait, Nokia, Nike Canada and Telus have enjoyed great
success with this venue. Many local business owners such as Herbal Magic,
Gearheads, Valley Gunsmithing, Century 21 and Santa Fe Restaurant are also
benefiting from our advertising boards.
I’m already advertising in the Newspaper, TV, Radio or on Billboards.
Other traditional mediums such as newspaper, television, radio and billboards
are other great forms of media to include in your advertising mix. They can also
be very expensive and a "hit or miss" advertising venue.
MiniBoard Advertising provides your company the opportunity to always "hit" your
target audience in a format that just can’t be ignored. Advertisements on our
boards are read longer and more attentively than other mediums. With MiniBoard
Advertising, readers spend at least half a minute reading about your company and
product. There’s no traffic to contend with, no stories to compete against and
no one to talk to during commercial break! There’s just no distraction. Not to
mention, most people enjoy quality-reading material while using the washroom - a
great opportunity for you to provide it!
Washroom advertising is one of the only mediums that provide true target
marketing by tailoring your ad to specific audiences by age, lifestyle and
gender - making MiniBoard Advertising a great medium to add to the mix.
But does it work?
How can it not work? MiniBoard Advertising places a 12" x 24" or 11" x 17" full
color ads in women’s and men’s washroom where they can’t be missed.
Research in the indoor advertising industry show that most people use the
washroom between 30 seconds and four minutes. This is truly a captive audience.
The same studies have shown that 92% of indoor ad viewers remembered the
company’s name for days after viewing it with 88% recalling at least four
selling points in the ad. That’s after a single viewing. Since most people use
these same facilities often, you’re branding your business in your target
audience’s mind and getting ahead of your competition.
